pineapple chicken and rice recipe

Finding that perfect weeknight dinner that's both quick and crave-worthy felt impossible until I stumbled upon this Pineapple Chicken and Rice recipe. What started as an attempt to use up leftover pineapple has become our household's most requested meal, saving us countless delivery fees in the process.

What makes this dish special is the perfect balance of savory and sweet—tender chicken pieces coated in a glossy sauce with chunks of juicy pineapple that caramelize slightly during cooking. The sauce soaks into the rice, flavoring every grain. My teenage son, who typically scrutinizes anything with fruit in a main dish, now requests this regularly and even takes leftovers for lunch.
